Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum

Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a

stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these

or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational

section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond

the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may

affect product reliability.

MAXIMUM POWER DISSIPATION

The maximum safe power dissipation for the AD8270 is limited

approximately 130°C, which is the glass transition temperature,

the plastic changes its properties. Even temporarily exceeding this

temperature limit may change the stresses that the package exerts

on the die, permanently shifting the parametric performance of the

amplifiers. Exceeding a temperature of 130°C for an extended

period of time can result in a loss of functionality.

The AD8270 has built-in, short-circuit protection that limits the

output current to approximately 100 mA (see Figure 19 for more

information). While the short-circuit condition itself does not

damage the device, the heat generated by the condition can cause

the device to exceed its maximum junction temperature, with

corresponding negative effects on reliability.
